HAMBURG - At least three trading companies are believed to be taking part so far in the international tender from Jordan’s state grains buyer to purchase 120,000 tonnes of animal feed barley which closed on Thursday, traders said.

Trading houses participating were believed to be Cargill, Viterra and Australian Grain Export.

No purchase has yet been made and results are expected later on Thursday, traders said.
